/**
|
|
* Internet Explorer introduced the concept of "Security Zones". For our purposes, we
|
|
* just need to set the security zone to the "Internet" zone, which Windows will use to
|
|
* offer some protections. This is customizable by the user (or, more likely, by IT).
|
|
*
|
|
* To do this, we write the "Zone.Identifier" for the NTFS alternative data stream.
|
|
*
|
|
* This can fail in a bunch of situations:
|
|
*
|
|
* - The OS is not Windows.
|
|
* - The filesystem is not NTFS.
|
|
* - Writing the metadata file fails for some reason (permissions, for example).
|
|
* - The metadata file already exists. (We could choose to overwrite it.)
|
|
* - The original file is deleted between the time that we check for its existence and
|
|
* when we write the metadata. This is a rare race condition, but is possible.
|
|
*
|
|
* Consumers of this module should probably tolerate failures.
